prit sataye teri yaad naa jaye teri
dil de ke gam le liya
o dil de ke gam le liya
prit sataye teri yaad naa jaye teri
dil de ke gam le liya
o dil de ke gam le liya

jahar bhari ye kaisi baji shahnaai
thes jiya pe lagi aankh bhar aayi
jahar bhari ye kaisi baji shahnaai
thes jiya pe lagi aankh bhar aayi
aa re balam tere gam ki duhai
dil de ke gam le liya
prit sataye teri yaad naa jaye teri
dil de ke gam le liya
o dil de ke gam le liya

ruthe nasibo ko kaise manaye
chhota sa dil aur lakho balaye
ruthe nasibo ko kaise manaye
chhota sa dil aur lakho balaye
ghut ke gam se kahi mar hi naa jaye
dil de ke gam le liya
prit sataye teri yaad naa jaye teri
dil de ke gam le liya
o dil de ke gam le liya

Love's sting, your memory, a phantom's hold,
I gave my heart, and grief's story told,
Oh, gave my heart, and grief's story told.
Love's sting, your memory, a phantom's hold,
I gave my heart, and grief's story told,
Oh, gave my heart, and grief's story told.

A venomous song, the shehnai's cry,
Wounds on my soul, tears welling high,
A venomous song, the shehnai's cry,
Wounds on my soul, tears welling high,
Oh, my love, in your sorrow I lie,
I gave my heart, and grief's story told,
Love's sting, your memory, a phantom's hold,
I gave my heart, and grief's story told,
Oh, gave my heart, and grief's story told.

How to appease fate's cruel decree,
A fragile heart, and woes unbound and free,
How to appease fate's cruel decree,
A fragile heart, and woes unbound and free,
Will sorrow's weight finally bury me?
I gave my heart, and grief's story told,
Love's sting, your memory, a phantom's hold,
I gave my heart, and grief's story told,
Oh, gave my heart, and grief's story told.
